Occupational therapy South Africa refers to the use of assessment and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain the meaningful activities, or occupations, of individuals, groups, or communities. The field involves preventing or relieving disabling conditions caused by illness, injury, or impairment; focusing on everyday activities as well as specific tasks related to job-training and employment outcomes. Occupational therapists help their patients achieve optimal independence in their daily lives through treatment and training in areas such as communication skills and self-care.
